What is t1,s3 What new Ggvi!try has the
Texan concoCted? For suddenly, amidst
the excited throng that gathered in and
around the plaza, appeared 3 mounted
hOrsemel, in the character Of a Texas
ranger. The CleaG-lmbeG, fiery steed
was brilliant black and richly capari-
soned: the rider sat erect with uncovered
head, and performed succession of diff
cult feats with consummste grsce and
skill. The rab5le crowded round in sense
less admiration. Drums beat, trumpets
sounded and loud sccIamation arose
from the delighted multitude. The horse
becoming excited at length cleared him
self from the crowd, and dashed down
the street at full speed. This was enough.
No better proof OF the fitness Of the CAL
didate for high position and important
trust was possible. What wonder thst
officers so elected, aud by such electors,
should look lightly on puritan principles
and sCTupulous justice as compared with
well-hlled pockets, champagne suppers,
and h8ppy harlotings:

CHARMS OF JAPANESE WOMEN.
What Gives Them Grace and Attractive
ness-opposed to European Dress.
London Times.

Lennon Times
The general attractiYeness of the
japanese fair sex, as to which there are
hardly two opinions, is due in q more
than ordinary degree to the becoming
character of their rsiment and the grace
with which it is worn. Few japanese
women possess physical beauty of those
lofty types which are the western ideals.
They are for the most part comely and
engaging, rather than handsome. Dark
eyes and hair, penClled eyebrows, well
set necks, and remarkably good teeth,
together with bright, artIeSs manners
snd winning smile, serve to draw stten-
ton from Irregularities of feature which
will hardly bear critical scrutiny.

r. Anecdotes Of Grant.

An ohicer who served ON Grant . star
during the war said to the Travellers
correspondent recently: 1.-THE first
time ever saw Grant was when hs
came to take command Of the army.
This was at Brandywine station. We
had been accustomed to see McC Clellan,
Halieck, Burnside and the other gen.
erals 60 about from brigade to bri.
sade, and division to division, attend.
ed by cloud OF gorgeously uniformed
staff officers. and, of course. we expects
ed that Grants arrival would have q
great deal OF show in it. We were
awaiting his arrival, knowing that hs
was on his way, when freight train
rolled in. There was q caboose on
the end, and out jumped two men.
One OF them was q ashort, stumpy man,
with full brown beard. He wore q
black SLOUGH hat, tipped down on his
eyes. AS he picked his way over the
railroad tracks to the station SOL
dier who had been at Fort Donelson
shouted: Here's Grant, boys On
the platform was Gen. Ingalls,, thecom
missary general of the army, and who
was one of Grants classmate. He
recognized his old comrades, and they
shook hands for moment. Then In
gals invited his commander to take a
seat in four-in-hand which was wait
ing. 1t was raining, but Grant stood
while and looked over the turnout;
then he got inside and drove to head
quarters. Gen. ingalls, had provided
a most magnificent dinner for the
commander. Grant sat and ate hearth
ly, and after he had finished he turned
and inquired; Ingalls,, where did
you get all the stuff?' The com
missary general replied with some pride
that he had had it brought down from
Washington expressly for the event.
Then Grant wanted to know il the SOL
diers were in the habit of getting lay
out like that. Upon being answered in
the negative, Grant said; Ingalls,, have
been in the habit of eating soldiers
rations. What'sgood enough for them
isgood enough for me-. Ingalls, didn't
neglect to take the hint, and there were
no more gorgeous banquets after that
in the headquarters of the army of the
Potomac. After this episode Grant
smoked, and finally said: tOne more
question, Ingalls,. Where did you get
that four-in-hand?' 1t has been at
tached to the headquarters for the use
of the commanding general for long
time, sir was the response. Grant
never changed his expression as he re-
piled: 1don't want it here, Rufus; the
next time we need it it will be used in

In the sunsets shrouded glow;
Ever, with JOY or pain, '-'''-

Like winds or clouds, that fleet
Across the hungry space aas
Between, and find you, sweet,
Where life aga in wins grace.

My heart to where it clung,

And when in the silent hours b

Like an altar fire it showers
My blood with fragrant flannel
Perished is all that grieves;
And 10, our old-new Joys
Are gathered as in sheaves,
Held in loves equipoise.
Ours is the love that lives; 20 -

And its life outlasts the snow. q

At recent party in an up town

wished to initiate the boys into its
mysteries. They took possession OF

on guard. The gentlemen found ono
OF their crowd-a beardless youth
had disappeared, and wondered what
had become Of him. They learned to
their sorrow. The lodge being in
readiness for the reception Of candi-
dates, one of the young men was
escorted into the room, He found
four blushing maidens standing IN q
row in the corner Of the room with
tete in front OF them. Upon this he
was seated and blindfolded, and then
told that one OF the girls would kiss
him. II he could guess her name he
would be privileged to repeat the os-
cniation. OF course, he made q miser-
able failure, but, instead OF being al

the next victim was led in and had
been prepared for the sacrifice to see
the missing beardless youth rise up
ehostlike from behind the girls, inn
print good sound smack on the up
lifted and expectant lips of the candi-
date, and then dodge back to his
place of concealment. One after an
other OF the young men were victim

hear some of them demand more
than one trial before the removal Of
